Obduction, Myst’s Spiritual Successor, is now Available

Years in the making, today Cyan released Obduction which, as they term it, is the “spiritual successor” to their immensely popular game, Myst. Like its predecessor, Oduction is built to take you on an immersive and non-linear story through worlds of wonder and mystery. From first looks, it seems fantastic. Many of us have been waiting a long time for this and now it’s here for us to play. Kickstarter backers get the Mac version today, and Cyan indicates that a general release of the Mac version is “coming soon.” Related: I’ll be busy for the rest of the day. You might be, too.

Wife: Well just go ahead and get it already. Thats not a problem.
Me: Oh thank you, thank you thank you. DidImentionthatIneedanewcomoutertorunit? Thank you thank you..
